Poker is about making the best decision at any given time. Even if you make the right decision you're not necessarily gonna win the hand or the tournament or even cash. If you have pocket aces and get it all in preflop you're still gonna lose 18% of the time. You made a great play and the best possible move you can make there but it doesn't mean you're gonna win and that's where most people forget. Poker is a long term game and the best players will win long term but that's the whole thing you gotta remember it's a long-term game. Professionals can go on losing streaks of over a year. It's just variance in the game and one thing about poker is it's a very math oriented game. If you're making good decisions all the time you'll do fine long term if you're making big errors yeah you might win a big tournament today but long term you'll be a losing player. .

Will a player who makes the best moves in a tournament, playing brilliantly, cash or win the tournament by making the best choices?
What happen if all player on each table do that as only one player will win?

I think a better question is how in the world does this kind of negative thinking help your game....
are you looking for excuses or are you looking to improve👍
